[A/S] Re: Generator Question
The guy is right, the ground wire is really not necessary. I run mine
most all the time without one. (using tools and one thing plugged in
at a time) When you plug in your trailer you are electrifying the
whole thing (trailer) even though you are using only a light or two,
and the TV stuff. This is when I would ground it for a piece of mind.
The ground doesn't have to be heavy or sunk into the dirt 8 ft like
your home, it just doesn't have the kind of amps that require that. A
light gauge piece of wire attached to a spike that you can push or
hammer into the dirt is plenty. Take the little fella with ya they
are handy. Pushing in a spike for a ground is easier than cranking up
the dish for TV. Are you going to be in the generator section now?
